The Ascension bridges all the mysteries of the Incarnate Word on earth and in Heaven. Three central aspects of the Ascension which you should reflect upon are: [1] It directs the mind and heart to Heaven. The Christian must follow Christ - all the way to where He is now. Your strongest conviction ought to be that you exist for the purpose of getting to Heaven. Orient all your life in conformity with this truth. [2] It teaches us how to get to Heaven, for Our Lord provides the means. One must believe the truths He taught and live by the Sacraments which transmit His grace. Note the context of Christ's promise to remain with His Church: First He commands, obedience is then necessary on man's part, and thus man lives in God's promise. Too many people cling to the promise while disregarding the commands or withholding obedience. [3] The Ascension teaches us that we shall all be judged.
